already the aclu has planned to challenge the law in federal court. cecile richards is president of planned parenthood and sarah weddington here with some of her arguments to legalize abortion in the fall of '72. >> we are not here to advocate abortion. we do not ask this court to rule that abortion is good or dishonorable in any particular situation. we are here to advocate that the decision as to whether or not a particular woman will continue to carry or will terminate a pregnancy is a decision that should be made by that individual. that, in fact, she has a constitutional right to make that decision for herself. >> sarah, thank you for coming on so much. i have great respect for your historic role, of course. let me ask you this, what does it mean for a state to just all by itself like a cowboy go out there and say we're going to cut the term from six months to three months in which you can have an abortion, you can make that decision. what could they possibly attempt to do knowing it will be declared unconstitutional? >> i think there are a numbe

well, in addition to the white house meetings with law enforcement and the speeches and the roundtable discussions in places like richmond, and in addition to all of that stuff, the way the white house has said that they were going to try to get around what has made this too heavy of a lift for previous presidents is that they said they were going to play the outside game. they were going to go outside washington. they were going to get the grassroots involved. specifically, they were going to bring the president's 2012 campaign apparatus to bear on this really important and difficult policy issue. as nbc's michael isikoff reported, they have given over the database to the new advocacy group organizing for action. organizing for action is being run by the heavyweights of president obama's 2012 reelection campaign. their stated goal is to use the apparatus and the contact list and the volunteer energy that got president obama reelected, use that to get his agenda passed in his second term. nobody has ever done this before. but the obama folks are doing it. they have now started that eff

serious concerns under wisconsin law, mr. bauer wrote. he added that this was not an isolated matter, citing the wisconsin activities of true the vote, an organization close to the republican party and the romney campaign. that would be mr. bob bauer making that complaint, the attorney on the left there, who is now co-chairing the president's improved voting commission with the romney lawyer on the right, whose campaign was trying to stop early voting in ohio, and that gave its poll watchers wrong information about how to keep people from voting who should have been allowed to vote. awkward match, right? putting the guy whose party has tried and is still trying to make it hard to vote on the commission to fix voting, insisting that republicans must be as bothered by this as democrats. that's what the president left on the table last night after that incredibly moving story about this 102-year-old woman pulling out all the stops to vote, even though all the odds were against her. that's what the president put on the table. and
